Bart is thrilled to announce the arrival of Madeline Adams, the Museum’s new Assistant Curator of Education for Family Programs. Madeline joined the Education Department in December to focus exclusively on family activities, programs, studio classes, and camp. Madeline worked at the Philadelphia Museum of Art for six years as an educator, where she created and led tours for school groups, worked with teachers, managed the Teen Sketch Club, and served as artist-in-residence at several schools. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Art History from University of Pennsylvania and a Master of Fine Arts in Painting from American University. These experiences, coupled with her talents as a practicing artist, make her the perfect person to develop new programming for our rapidly growing family audience.
